What If.....


the Constitution doesn't include the phrase "separation of church and state." That phrase actually comes from an 1802 letter from President Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association, which was concerned that Anglicanism might become the official (or established) denomination of the new government. Jefferson tried to reassure the worried Baptists no such "establishment" skullduggery was afoot.

If Anglicanism were the state religion of the United States, capital punishment would not be legal.
